Hair fall and thinning
I have hair fall since December 2019 and visited 2 doctors first one gave me mintop pro with biokare od and then in January i changed doctor who gave me minoxidil 5% and keraglo men with imxia plus and scalpe+ shampoo. I am using these since then my hairfall got reduced but not stopped yet. In the meantime about a month ago i visited a doctor for some checkup he gave me vit d and calcium and b12 spray due to some issues. I want to know that is vit d and calcium somewhere related to hair fall because i found such articles on internet. I am much concerned about vit d and calcium because since when i was 7 months old i left milk and am lactose intolerant so very hardly take some milk product since then. The doctor heard all this and noticed swelling in the body due to which he provided me all this. Will the hair fall go away with vit d and calcium? I also have thin hair now and much of my hair is reduced since December. I am using minoxidil and keraglo men once at night everyday.

Hairfall is not due to one single cause. There are many conditions which can cause extreme hair loss and thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause of hair fall with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes maybe nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia also called pattern baldness, hypothyroidism, telogeun effluvium etc. Unless we find and c,read the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Also one should refrain from home remedies as it does not give any relief from hairfall. Oil and shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin.Please contact me using online consultation for proper examination diagnosis and treatment
